re: Any advice for dealing with a deadbeat internet buyer

I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset, but you never know what this guy will do when he starts getting harassed or bags of poo.
He'll have an idea of who's doing it bc he knows who he didn't pay. Like I said earlier, I don't know what can happen if it escalated and charges were filed (or some other worst case scenario), I just don't think that's worth the money lost.

Also, this would have been easily preventable had you waited for payment. The easily preventable part is why I compared it to the amazon thread.
